This anonymous etching, "Schoorsteen met figuren van Overwinning en Overvloed" (Chimney with figures of Victory and Abundance), created before 1732, presents an elaborate design for a fireplace. The central medallion displays a bust, while two female figures, representing Victory and Abundance, flank the fireplace. The intricate ornamentation of the chimney and the surrounding drapery showcase the Rococo style's predilection for elegant, asymmetrical designs and decorative flourishes, typical of Dutch art in the early 18th century. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the decorative arts of its time.
